Radeon X1800 XT Review
by johnathan111 on Comments
Radeon X1800 XT, formerly known as R520, is the new high-end chip from ATI, directly competing with GeForce 7800 GTX from nVidia. We’ve got a reference sample for this model from ATI, so we will compare its performance to other members of the Radeon X1000 series, to previous ATI chips and also with competing products from nVidia. But don’t get too excited: video cards based on Radeon X1800 XT will only reach the market in one month from now.

The ATI GPU's will be alot cheaper than the Nvidia GPU when it comes out.
Impressions On the Beautifull Xbox360 Controller
by johnathan111 on Comments
The bumpers and face buttons are more substantial than those found on a dual shock and the placement above the triggers conforms to the natural placement of your forefinger. More important than the layout, the 360 controller was never a factor when getting used to a new game. There was no looking down at our hands to figure out what we should be hitting. This is perhaps the controller's biggest asset considering that experiencing the software is ultimately what's important.

The Xbox 360 controller is the best gaming device I've ever touched. After getting a chance to play around with the controller even more at TGS, I've found myself falling in love.
It's not too heavy like the original Xbox controller. It feels fairly light, but not like you can break it like so many cheap-o third party controllers. The hand grips are at the perfect angle for extended play sessions that won't tire out your wrists, and the smooth, white surface fits my hands even better than the S-controller.
I've been saying it for years, but the Microsoft has finally listened (okay, not just to me, but to everyone). The black and white buttons should have been on the back above the triggers since the controller was released in 2001. The button placement is perfect, and I can easily reach everything on the controller. You literally have 17 possible buttons within your grasp (A, B, X, Y, RT, LT, RB, LB, R3, L3, start, select, guide, plus the D-pad). That's a whole lot of potential at your fingertips in such a small area.
The analog triggers that we've all come to love on the S-controller feel just as nice on the 360 controller, and the bumpers directly above the triggers are in the perfect position and don't get in the way in the slightest.
I also love the idea of the guide button. Not only can it be used to access the menu system mid-game, giving you instant access to what used to be multiple button mashes on the S-controller, but it can also be used like a remote control for the system as you can turn the Xbox 360 on and off with the guide button from the comfort of your couch. How's that for the ultimate in laziness?
So far I love the X360 controller, and I don't want to leave it behind. The premium system is now a must for me so I can take the wireless version to bed with me and whisper sweet nothings into its ear.
